Reminders & notifications
Class nudges, daily summaries, task reminders, and how they behave.
MySched sends a small, fixed set of notifications: a nudge before each class, an optional daily summary, and per-task reminders. Here's how each one works.
Class reminders
You get one repeating nudge before each weekly class. They're time-sensitive, so they break through Focus.
A typical reminder reads {CODE} starts soon, with the time and room. The first class of each day is framed as a leave-now nudge instead, so you have time to get to campus.
Two buttons ride along on each one.
- I'm here: marks you present.
- Snooze 10 min: nudges you again shortly.
Set the timing in More ▸ Preferences, under Class Reminders. Choose 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes before, and add a leave-now buffer to fire that first-of-the-day reminder even earlier.
Travelling?
When your school provides its timezone, reminders are pinned to campus time, so they fire at class-local time even after your phone has moved.
Daily summary
Under Daily Summary in Preferences you can turn on two once-a-day notifications, each at a time you choose.
- Morning summary: that day's classes (7 AM by default).
- Evening preview: tomorrow's first class and class count, the evening before a class day. Off by default.
Task reminders
Each task can carry its own reminder: at the due time, or 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before. See Tasks.
About the notification limit
iOS caps an app at 64 scheduled notifications. MySched splits them 44 class reminders / 7 daily summaries / 13 task reminders. The 7 summaries cover both the morning and evening slots. If you somehow have more than 44 weekly class meetings, the extra class reminders won't schedule. Most students never get near this.
Next steps
- Attendance: "I'm here" from a notification counts you present.
- Tasks: set a reminder on any task with a due date.
